hi all is there a way to set the theottle bodis for tick over . went to a garage last year and he messed around to keep it ticking over but it was an air leak. now they need setting up again, at tick over the throttle sticks as if the butterfly in the body is jamming. the cable is free it dosent do it with the engine off. so maybe the vacumm has a role to play . hoping to get it set up before the mot for the emissions

As most of you know my zed has been dead for donkeys now since playing with that bloody DB7. Chris aka CBR337, joined recently, living just a few miles from me, has had few issues with his gearbox. Yesterday he picked up his new box and a 2nd hand PTU for me, came over today (new years day) we tinkerd with my zed for a few hours, located other electrical probs i didnt know i had, Now she is running on all 6 cylinders at last, got a few air leaks to locate and an issue with one of the cats ( as might be clogged up) hopefully we will sort. But it sounds great to hear it purr. i just spent the last hour drinking stella and listening to a cd in the zed on tick over on…

Travelling back from work on mon (new years eve) at about 6pm I spotted a black Zed travelling in the opposite directon. Was going away from Manningtree towards Tendring. Didnt get a good view but it was rather loud.

Please help. My N/A Zed wont start, the engine is trying to start and is turning over but it will not actually start! If some one can give me advice please call me on 07511621307.

today nr B&q was in a blue clio admiring your shiney red paint

Let me start by saying: Not using oil Not smoking Still boosting strongly 'Off throttle' gives good - neg pressure There is no noise off-boost and i can't hear one on-boost (although may be drowned out by the hiss and exhaust!) however when i get close to 0 pressure (between +/- 0.5 mmHg) there is a slight rattling noise like shaking two dice in a cup, almost a ratchet noise.... Any ideas anyone? :)

hi my young son been press button repeatably on key fob' must have burned something out its a hisec alarm /immobilisor so cant wont start. anyone any ideas please cheers gary

I have read lots and lots of info on HICAS and its removal on this site and it has been very useful. What seemed to be lacking (or at least I could not find it) is a clear list of who supplies the HICAS eliminator bars, what sort they are and how much they cost. Who has bought them and where from?

i have I have been doing some research on FS5R30A/RS5R30A manual gearbox from Z31/Z32 Turbo; I have been working on converting from an H paten to a Sequential gearbox by removing the side of the box and removing the gear stick shaft and replacing with a sequential unit. I know it a bit mad but hay why not...! “Flappy paddle shift”.......! Right does anyone know the bell house bolt hole dimensions for above gearbox/ room under transmission tunnel, and does anyone have a gearbox which gears or bearings have gone which I could buy, if you can help please email me @ iain.knight@tesco.net :smash:

Found an ISO connector on this site for a Lexus Soarer that was £32 - £35 in other places, on this site was only £16 :)!! had a look through and they are very competitive with an excellent range of ISO connectors for almost any car, Zed's included of course :) http://www.lowcostcaraudio.co.uk/

I have a problem with coolant leaking for the last few days, getting gradually worse. Today it decided to pour out, I managed to get the car up and look underneath. I managed to take a photo of where it was leaking from:- This is a view from the underside of the car, sorry if its not to clear. I dont think its the thermostat leaking as I have checked around the housing. Any ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks ZX_Steve

Ive seen this car twice now, A few days back with a lady driving into the Shell petrol station Horsham Road, Littlehampton, then yesterday, zooming away from the Rustington golf centre A259 to wards L'ton. Think its on a H plate, very tidy, no rear spolier, but going like the clappers. My van wont keep up.

after much deliberation i have decided to purchase another zx turbo with this in mind i would like to purchase off a member as my last car was from a dealer in the midlands who ripped me off big time as i dont want another car that i love to bits but is a money pit i wanted to view cars on here that are for sale but i cannot this isnt helping in my quest for another zx :mad:
